As an old guy growing up in the 70s, this is insane. we had trails threw the woods with jumps that we thought were cool. Wrong. I couldn't even imagine doing this on my old schwinn stingray with the 10 speed seat on! Or my huffy with the mag wheels. Don't know how I got to your channel but I'm now subscribed. These videos get my adrenaline going. Make me want to dust off my early 90s Iron Horse and just ride logging roads. Stay safe
Where I lived.. there was single random logs and wood, rails in a random place inthe woods my best firend and I would explore in... We even took our bikes through the gauntlet once... Just like peopel hiking bikes up moutnains ot ride down.... Itslike tings haven't cahnged its jsut more poeple see a hidden world.
I raced BMX in the 70's and MTB's in the 80's and 90's. Started riding during the pandemic and fell right back into the groove. Get a new bike and get out there, so much has changed it will blow your mind!
I’ve always gotten a kick out of hearing you laugh after going through a hard feature. Hit my first single track downhill last week and I totally get it now. I laughed the entire time. Constant adrenaline and you just can’t help but laugh when you make it through. Don’t know if I’ll ever talk myself into the tech stuff you do but love watching and picking up on ways to improve.
D&D Shredding Krew back at it! Awesome trails, fantastic riding. DD, the camera angle is great, it's like a 3D ride that is almost like being there! Shred on, Boys, Shred on!
Gosh this trail was beautiful! The view itself makes me want to go there, we have nothing like this in the Netherlands. How often do you change your tires?
I’ve seen you guys ride Trunk Monkey a few times so, even though it’s a serious trail in its own right, I guess I’m getting used to it (second hand of course… I couldn’t ride it!). But that S and M at the end? Downright terrifying looking. Well named I’d say.
@@ddangerousddave eagerly awaiting system upgrade then. I used to mountain bike when I lived in santa cruz. not so much these days. your vids take me back
Holy crap, now you point it out, didn't realise he'd gotten to that many subs already, when I started following he was only at a couple thou maybe. Very cool, soon he'll be a full time YT "creator".
You know you can't just climb up to 10,000 feet like that. I had to fight the trees the whole way up to the official trail from the old satellite dish. I got turned back twice by this tiny little rock face you barely see from the hill on the other side of the road, but it was the same kind of thing as on the south side where all of a sudden it got way too steep and looked like I'd be totalled out if I fell. So I did turn back on the other side over there for a few attempts before I found the path to South Boundary through the burn scar on La Vinateria. The trees fight back a lot and there was wildlife out there, too. Fortunately, it was a tree branch that gave me a bump on the head and not the bear cub. Then I got lost for a few miles and nobody went on that trail, so the snow was packed over two feet in places and I had to go on my hands and knees to get through it. I thought I was going to lose my light. The trail peters out about two miles from the T. You continue north up Capulin Canyon and that goes to Palo Encebado on one side and Capulin Peak on the other. You don't want to be looking for the trail at that point on the descent, or you're gonna get totalled out. I had to doubleback and go back through the thick snow patches and made it back down to the forest road, where I could see the road again without artificial light. There was another bear chewing on a tree. Moon came out when I got down to the road. #moth #mothboundarytrail #freetaos #taos #newmexico #sierravillage www.strava.com/activities/6999516604
@@ddangerousddave thanks for reply! As a lifetime skater new to this sport, I find myself preferring my feet to be in “regular” stance (level, with my left foot forward) before anything too crazy. Need to figure out the right gear and ratcheting/timing, I guess. And maybe there is some bunny hop or “pushing the bike forward” too? But you seem to go from nearly stopped to one to two bike lengths pretty fast…thanks again!
@@nunyabiznaz9593 @Nunya Biznaz Nice to see more newer riders getting into it! Foot placement is the name of the game for sure, gotta have that stable platform. As far as his movements go, looks like he's using a "pedal kick" in certain spots. It's based on a trials move but little variations of it are used in all sorts of slower speed riding to pick up the nose or gap things. You combine a 1/4 pedal stroke with a forward lunge/hop. Kinda hard to describe but check it out, it's a great move to have.
I was just thinking you need to carry some extra brake pads on rides like these...just in case. Then you said, "That is a brake burner right there". I agree!
WOW, that's some serious old school, chunky tech right there, never seen those trails before - sweet. As usual, great riding, some of that stuff looked super steep too. Have to mention this though ..... not sure what you've changed in your video editing or rendering, but your 1080p now looks like garbage, to be frankly honest, have to watch at 1440p and then it looks like your 1080p used to look like.
Thanks! As for the quality, I haven't changed anything in my settings per se, but the older footage filmed on my Hero 7 was shot in 2.7k and upscaled to 4k. Anything filmed on my new Hero 10 is filmed in actual 4k which may explain things. Because I edit videos in a random order (I posted some 2020 footage recently :P), that might explain the confusion. Or RUclips could just be wonky.

Trunk Monkey is SO good. One of my faves. Just beautiful. Well done!
And S&M is gnar! Steep, tight and chunky. You guys make it look easy.
What if I only have a B game
C game worked in uni...
no chilcoti in this ride nick?
@@kevinkunst4822 this was a long time ago!
More nerve than a lion! Everywhere they went you took the hardest route Dave I applaud your skill!!!
"Oh that's not so bad." My teeth would be embedded in one of those trees.
Even though I can't ride a bike at all, I love watching your videos. Stay safe out there!
Incredible tech skills! Great video capture. Love your stuff Dave. Well done!
one of the best mtb tech rider in my opinion
Wow… love your style fast, but not too fast, with a focus on precision a master of the skinny. 🤙🏻
The THREE MUSKETEERS 😎
Gosh this trail was beautiful! The view itself makes me want to go there, we have nothing like this in the Netherlands. How often do you change your tires?
I go through about 2 rear tires and 1 front tire per season.
@@ddangerousddave witch go pro are you useing
This is super inspiration to tune up my bike for this summer.
GoPro usually makes everything looks flat but definitely not the case for your video, I can see it’s super steep. Awesome riding as always.
Like seeing someone with you. Usually it looks like your in danger and sort of scary in the wilderness.
I like having someone with me too!
This week's sickest ride

That’s some intense Cypress action
This is some extreme gnar lol
Heck yeah heck yeah❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🐰🦊🦊🐯🐯🐱🐱🐈🐈🐈🐈🌍🌏🌎🌙🌙☀️🌈⚡️🌈
I've been riding Cypes since 1997, without a fender.
Just back for Dave’s laugh. Carry on.
Asking again for consistent 60fps uploads because it's so much clearer
Every once in a while. My old CPU doesn't like it lol.
@@ddangerousddave eagerly awaiting system upgrade then. I used to mountain bike when I lived in santa cruz. not so much these days. your vids take me back
after awhile, it doesn't even look like a trail anymore. it's just the woods of planet earth on a treacherous hill.
Iam here since you had 1k subs Dave. Its getting better and better. Thanks&keep up good work🦾😊//
Holy crap, now you point it out, didn't realise he'd gotten to that many subs already, when I started following he was only at a couple thou maybe. Very cool, soon he'll be a full time YT "creator".
Thanks for coming along for the journey 👍
@@lynxg4641 unless RUclips brings out a pension plan, I don't see myself quitting my day job :p
I would literally have no idea how to ride this.So sick.
Awesome riding and content as Always!
Insane, wow, so crazy
Nice, PRO LEVEL SURELY
The “tres amigos” strikes again..yiieeww 🤙🏼
Jezz that last one didn’t even look like a trail 😂 I would have lost it. What GoPro are you using?
This was filmed on my Hero 7. I'm using a 10 now.
Great riding buddy 🤘🏼

My god this Visit Qatar advert before every vid is driving me crazy
Hell DD your a good rider 👌 👏😎
When you track stand and then yank one for a drop or jump, how much pedal/crank are you going through? Like half a stroke?
Depends, but generally a quarter stroke. Body position and movement also play a big part.

Do you guys use the Norco app for base settings on your Sights and do you know how many tokens/spacers came factory front and rear?.
okay that looks like hobbit trails so cool too easy tho hold my road bike 😂
I was just thinking you need to carry some extra brake pads on rides like these...just in case. Then you said, "That is a brake burner right there". I agree!
You guys are badass! I must say....👍
What's the ratio of flat pedals to clipless riders in this area?
Obviously the downhill stuff is fun but how on earth do you get to the tips of these crazy trails?
Cool 🤘🤩🔥
Cool!
Nice and dry looking. Not like today. The Trunk slabs was covered in black wet mud.
I'll bring my C- game.
You need a brake pad sponsor 😂
How your grandparents describe their commute to school:
yo dave what kind of grips do u ride with in this video?
Looks like I was still using Deity Knuckledusters in this video.
What flat pedals are you riding?
DMR vault mags at the moment
Survival of the fittest
Damn
Sorry to break it to you Dave, but the GoPro wasn't recording any of the first trail, Dale lied to you :(
Joking aside it was a really good trail
Is your Bike a 650B or 29"?
650B

Can you a manuell
as someone who has now watched HOURS of these videos I have what is probably a stupid question. Are they sped up at all?
Nope :)
@@ddangerousddave you sir have amazing hand eye coordination. I cant even see where the trail is half the time.
